I need a mechanic to change my audi tt from right hand drive

[aderohunmul]

Hi,
I have a right hand drive audi tt and i would like to change it to a left hand drive. Does anyone know where i can get this done?

Sell it and buy a LHD one. It'll be much, much cheaper.

Agreed.

Agreed +1

not only that but the bulkhead between the engine bay and cabin will need changing,apart from needing the whole car stripped down including wiring loom you would need to remove the complete front end including inner wings,the labour for this would be more than the car is worth!
I have looked at converting one of these to rhd for a customer,thats how I know.
seel it and buy a left hooker,you could buy a newer lhd car for the same money.

You could buy an LHD car for the cost of the conversion alone.

It's not a mechanic you need it's a magician.

As sid above, sell it and buy another one with the steering wheel on the otherside

[corozin]

Dashboard, bulkhead, steering rack, turbo manifold, pedal box, wiring loom...
For the conversion costs involved you could trade it for a decent 350z.

Like everyone has said before just buy a LHD, why do you want a LHD out of interest? This is a bit of a common sense type thread imo

Do you realise that if you get it converted to LHD the petrol tank will be on the wrong side of the car and you won't be able to fill up in Europe?

[odyssey2200]

If you convert it to RHD you may have to have an SVA as the conversion is considered a significant change to the vehicle.

I don't think you would get away without an enhanced SVA which would cost loads.

I friend on mine did it with a car a few years ago and almost ended up converting it back.

Luckily he was able to prove it was very low volume and got away with a standard SVA.
